UNITED STATES PATENT rErcE.
WILLIAM YAPP, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
IIVIPROVED MODE OF SUSTAINING GUTTERS TO BUILDINGS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 36,876, dated November' 4, 1862.
. ters Made of. any Kind of Metal; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the laccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, in which- Figure 1 is al perspective View. Fig.` 2 shows how the gutter is fastened to the wall by means of a bracket-bolt which is locked to the gutter. Fig. 3 shows how the gutter is fastened to the rafters of a building. Fig. 4 shows the back ofthe gutter, thus exhibiting the end of the tube. Fig. 5 shows the section ofthe gutter and tube therein. Fig. 6 shows another mode of locking the gutter to the bracket-boltinside ot' the gutter. Fig. 7 shows the key by which to insert the pins into the wall or wood-work.
The nature of my invention consists in providing the gutter with a tube, A, Figs. 4: and 5, by means of which the saule is slipped onto the bracket-bolts B, Fig. 2, and fastened to said bracket-bolts by a spring, C, Figs. 2 and 5, or by locking the tube A to the bracketbolts B by a pin, D, Fig. 6. By fastening the gutter to a building in this manner I believe it makes the saine stronger. It does not destroy the shingles, slate, or other covering of a roof.
t In case of a storm, the gutter is more securely fastened than by the old mode. It improves the outer appearance by not showing any straps, as represented by Fig. l.; and, finally, it is less work to put on the gutter anda truer way to give the gutter the proper fall by using this mode of securing the gutter to abuilding.
IThe gutter can be made of any kind of metal, and in any shape and form to give it architectural beauty. A gutter hung in this tion, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
I make a gutter of the necessary length and place in the same at equal distances the tube A by soldering the same to the gutter at both ends, as shown in Fig. 5. The spring C, Fig.
5, is soldered to the underside of the tube, and said spring is so formed that the loose or playing end, which is turned upward, shall reach up into the tube through the opening E, Fig. 5, which is cut out of the under side of the tube. The bracket-bolt B, Fig. 2, has a thread cut at one end nearly half its length like a screw, and at the other end it is cut square, G, Fig. 2, so as to iit onto it the key to screw the bracket-bolt with it into the wall, as represented by Fig. 7. At the proper distance from the end or head of the bracketbolt a notch, F, Fig. 2, is cut into the same. Take the key, Fig. 7, and place the square sinking H onto the square part G, Fig. 7, of the bracket-bolt, and screw the same into the wall or rafter, allowing as much of the b olt to remain outside the wall as the length of the tube is. Place the bracket-bolts the saure distance from each other as the distance is between the tubes in the gutter. Then take the gutter and place it on the wall so that the bracket-bolts tit into the tubes, and press the glitter toward the Wall, which rwill cause the spring C to fall into the notch F, thereby locking the bracket-bolt and tube in'side of the gutter without being seen from the outside.
To take oft' the gutter from the bracketbolts, press the spring C down and slip a nail or piece of wood between the spring and the tube. After this is done on all the bracketbolts the gutter is unlocked and it can betaken oft.
Another mode of locking the gutter Without the use of the spring is by boring a hole perpendicular through bracketbolt and the tube in the center' of the gutter. When the gutter is far enough slipped on the bracketbolt that the holein it is under the hole in the tube, then put in the pin D, and the gutter is locked, as represented in Fig. 6.
Instead of a screw-bolt, a plain-pointed bolt may be used by driving it into the wall.
What I claim asv my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The bracket-bolt B a-nd tube A, the latter passing through the gutter and closed at its outer end, in combination with the Within` described fastening for attaching the gutter to the house by the bolt alone, substantially as speoiiied.
- WILLIAM YAPP.
